PENSACOLA, FLA, Jan. 15.-The Executive
Committee of the Coast Defense Association of
the coast cities of the South have issued the fol
lowing circular; I'VE, the undersigned citizens
of South Atlantic and Gulf Coast seapOrts, re-
gard with alarm the unprotected condition of
our cities. which, in their present defenseless
state, render them and our homes liable to de-
structon, or to the exaction of tribute equally as
ruinous in the event Of war. This feeling of
alarm is intensified by the humiliating fact that
q single gunboat of any third-rate power may
take possession OF and destroy any one of our
seaport cities while we are unable to defend or
offer successful resistance. While the nation has
experienced long blessing Of peace we cannot
always expect this boon, and it Is imperative that
our pr,ts he placed in a state Of defense which
would alone have q tendency to avert war
We therefore recommend that q convention be
held at D-Funiak Springs, Fla, central and

saloon must be destroyed; that State and
municipal activity should be directed
against it, and that until destroyed every
restraint and disability should be imposed
upon it which local public sentiment will
enforce. Such an exposure made by such
a man must have weight in the minds OF
people who are seemingly Indifferent to
this giant evil, and as well, the methods
he advocates for its suppression. In
States where these and similar measures
have been adopted against the saloon there
has been rapid decrease in the consump-
ton of liquors, so great that the statistics
of the national bureau, show that the con-
sumption of distilled liquors in the whole
nation has decreased. But the evil is not
suppressed and the saloon still exists and
is powerful factor in the management
of the affairs of this nation; and the
crusade of the anti-saloonists is not with
out powerful enemy to fight; its STAN
dard should be surrounded by recruits
who with word and deed shall wage war
of final determination. Mr.. WINDOWS
address may be of great service in awak-
ening a spirit of determination to this

The Chicago Railway Age estimates the
number of miles of new railroad built
during the first six months of the year at
$3.50 miles. The railroad construction for
the rest OF the year is estimated at 5000
miles, raising the total to higher point
than in any past year but 1882. when IL,
56S miles were laid, the milage OF 1881
being 1885, The track already laid needs
375, 900 tons of steel rails. or nearly fifth
of the current output, and at the rate OF
1925. 900 mile the new lines have cost
$94, 00O, 900. In all, the new milage OF
the year will cost about $3.50, 100000,
round fourth of the annual national saw
ings, and will absorb about one-half OF
our steel rail output. Nearly two-thirds OF
the track laid was in the belt from Dakota,
through Nebraska and Kansas and the In
dian Territory to Texas. This and Ala
bama and Georgia are to day the regions of
expansion.

Ex-Secretary Window on the
Saloon.

In An address delivered on the Fourth of
July. Ex-Secretary Window gave some
facts concerning the saloon power in this
country, which show its magnitude and
influences. The Secretary began by
quoting Canon Farrar as saying that the
dram shop dates back only one hundred
and fifty years. BY this it is to be under
stood that places for the sale Of distilled
liquors were not in existence previous.
and that the liquors in use were ale. wine
and beer. Liquors were on sale then at
taverns and hostelries, and even up to
twenty years ago. SAID Mr.. Window,
formed part of the stock of the grocer's
trade. Now the saloons dominate the
large cities and influenced States and even
the Nation. They claim to represent an
Investment of 81 .000. 200, 900, on which the
profits are greater than those on our 140,-
600 miles of railroad. They employ 500, 900
men. The cost of crime and attendant
misery directly due to them is perhaps
underestimated at 800. 100000 annually.
The annual destruction of lives amounts
to sc, 700. Add to this the evils resulting
in other ways. the effect upon the legis-
lation of the land brought about by a
"close alliance, offensive and defensive.
with one of the great political parties OF
the country" and perhaps some idea may
be gained of the magnitude of the giant
evil-the saloon.
Mr.. Window concludes by emphasizing
as the methods OF suspressing this saloon
power, the three points of the national re
publican anti-saloon platform-that the

Heroic Treatment for LOckjaw.
DISABLING FOR TIME ScIATIc AND CRURAL
NERVES.

John Kelleher of Chicago ran rusty nail
into his foot about an inch back from his big
toe on May 20. He washed the wound out
with cold water, tied a piece of cotton over
| it, and in day the foot was comparatively
we'll again the nail having just punctured
| the skin. On the morning OF
July he complained of sore
throat. When the physician asked
him to open his mouth it was discovered that
his jaws refused to perform their functions.
Another doctor was called in, and at once
pronounced the malady a typical form of
| lockjaw. The man was removed to his home
| An hour later the tetanc grin set in, and it
became apparent that extreme measures had
to be resorted to. The patient was put under
the influence of ether. The sponge had al.
ready been applied to the sufferers nostrils
| when the initial tetanic CONFUSION displayed
itself. Kelleher jumped from the ope-
rating slab and made mad rush
for the window. His jaws were set,
his eyes protruded, and he fought with Il
frenzied strength which the combined efforts
of four men could hardly overcome. Again
he was given the e,thetic, this time with
better effect. An incision, four inches long
and three inches deep. was made an inch and
half behind the hip bone. The sciatic
was passed beneath the nerve, and it was
stretched downward from the spinal cord with
pressure of l75 pounds. The cash was
then dressed with iodoform and antiseptics
and sewed up. An incision three inches long
was next made in the groin, the knife cutting
downward past the temoral artery until the
crural nerve was exposed. Here the sound
was again used and the nerve drawn down
ward from the spinal cord with pressure of
fifty pounds.
This treatment for lockjaw was first sue
cessfuly attempted in the European medical
colleges about six months ago, and the case
of Kelleher is probably the first effort in the
West. 1t was the left foot which was injured.
The two nerves treated are those supplying
locomotion and sensation from the nerve
centre to the seat of the wound. The stretch
ing was done to destroy the nerve current
which conducted the sensations from the
scar in the left foot to the base of the brain
also, to prevent the conveyance of the irrlta-
ton from the pyamic foot to the brain. The
case is watched with great interest BY the
medical men of Chicago.

attributable to the jealousy existing be-

The source of the difficulty in Manitoba
lies Ia the unfairness of the terms of the
grant made by the Dominion Government
in favor of the Canadian Pacific railroad,b
which this road was given the monopoly
of the Manitoba traffic and the exclusive
use of the branch road running from
Winnipeg to Pembina. Dakota. By means
of this agreement the Canadian Pacific
has been able to impose such high rates as
to divert the trade to the United States
through it's own line to Montreal. To
protect themselves the Manitobans are
trying to build new line. the contract
for which has been signed. in spite OF the
Dominion Government which has granted
already immense subsidies to the Cana
dian Pacific and consequently wishes to
protect its business. But the provincial
government of Manitoba has championed
the new enterprise and its officers have
taken active part in forwarding it. And
perhaps the hostility of the provincial and
central governments has been especially
increased by the action of the latter in
preventing the sale of its bonds in Lon
don. The situation is assuming a serious
aspect each day. Both parties are de-
termined and it is confidently expected
that the central government will endeavor
to enforce its authority by the presence OF
troops. in which case there will be blood
